For anyone pursuing a career as a programmer, there are a lot of different options in terms of what coding language to focus on and gain proficiency in; the languages you end up learning should be dictated by what you want to create as a coder.

To those who are new to coding and hoping to learn a necessary skill, Udemy is currently offering a course entitled Introduction to PHP Programming Language that can help get you deeply familiar with PHP, as well as build a foundation of general programming knowledge to help you learn more languages moving forward.

Through a series of lectures and articles, students will learn the syntax of PHP and get a clearer picture of what the language is capable of, before moving on to working with arrays, defining loops, and learning object-oriented development. By the end of the course you’ll be ready to go out and pitch yourself as a PHP developer. With over 20,000 students enrolled and a 4.1/5 star rating, it clear that most are pleased with their investment.
